Liverpool Reportedly Docking Ekitiké Two Weeks' Wages After Shirt-Off Red

The forward is suspended for Crystal Palace after the League Cup dismissal.

Overview

  • He scored a late winner against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, then was sent off for removing his shirt after an earlier booking.
  • The sending-off triggers a one-match ban that rules him out of Liverpool’s next game against Crystal Palace.
  • Manager Arne Slot condemned the celebration, calling it unnecessary and dumb.
  • British media led by the Daily Mail report a two-week wage deduction, unconfirmed by the club, which would exceed €500,000 based on reported salary figures.
  • The incident heightens scrutiny on the €95 million signing, who apologized on Instagram and said emotions overwhelmed him.
